"Hitler is laser focused on Barbarossa, but how is that going to make German quality of life better?"
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

People can talk about how much things have changed for the worse, but I managed to make some moves for positive change in my life, and I didn't even have to wait 24 hours for it all to be immediately wiped away and then some.
The wonderous speed of modern progress.

Do you have a historical figure you most wish got to be a poster? I feel like you must have a better answer than mine, which is Churchill. The guy started autobiography when he was 19 I think. And just never stopped. True poster.

The problem with so many "leftists" is that they've never held a real job.
Systems have to be maintained, people have to be paid, and equipment needs upkeep and repair.
These things don't become untrue because of collective ownership!

The lesson of January 6th is that it does absolutely no good to prosecute the the violent foot soldiers if you're not going to prosecute the leaders and hold them accountable for their sedition under the full force of the law.

I would simply like to point out that I was calling for Europe to build its military might and detach from the USA during the Obama administration generally, and since the first Trump administration on social media.

"The United States never engaged in imperialism" is the exact same lie as when Russia says it, but it's also wrong even by the standards of the lie, which is "imperialism is when boats."
We engaged in imperialism to expand the country, and we engaged in imperialism in both Americas and elsewhere!

JEFF LANDRY: I disagree. When has the United States engaged in imperialism? Never. Europe has engaged in imperialism. The reason the Danish have Greenland is because of imperialism.

1) He is not worried about getting ousted.
2) None of his members are pursuing a shutdown seriously.

Five years ago today, American liberal democracy abdicated its responsibilities, and allowed itself to die by indifference.
Our options are something new and better, or desperately trying to glue together a system that is broken beyond repair.
We're not going back to 2009.

One thing about the oil industry is that, for all of the horrible shit it does, it's still a productive industry. You still have to make a product and sell it to people who want an actual product. Shares are based on actual market forces.
This is why Trump can't comprehend it.

Very reminiscent of Chernov and the SRs during the Provisional Government.
"Listen, we'll have land reform, peace, and elections. We just need to get to a moment where we can do that."
But rents kept going up, offensive kept being launched, and the "revolutionaries" changed nothing.

it's all self soothing stuff, it always is. it's not even political fandom half the time, it's grasping onto whatever they can find to reassure themselves the system works and smart, moral people are in charge. "they don't ACTUALLY support any of this stuff, it's just strategy"

In a stunning breach of diplomatic norms, Trump's ambassador to the Holy See issued a statement that misrepresented Pope Leo’s remarks on Venezuela in order to defend the U.S. military invasion.
Such a misrepresentation is unprecedented in the history of formal relations between the two governments
